http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12809 --- Comment #3 from Michael[tm] Smith <mike@w3.org> 2011-05-29 16:09:31 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) from Peter > Possibly, but if you contend that this is a bug in the HTML5 spec, then you > need to open a bug to the HTML5 spec. There is a part of the "Extensibility" section of the HTML5 spec that contains some language indicating that other "applicable specifications" can override conformance criteria given in the HTML5 spec. http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/infrastructure.html#other-applicable-specifications Relevant excerpt: [[ The conformance terminology for documents depends on the nature of the changes introduced by such applicable specificactions, and on the content and intended interpretation of the document. Applicable specifications MAY define new document content (e.g. a foobar element), MAY prohibit certain otherwise conforming content (e.g. prohibit use of <table>s), or MAY change the semantics, DOM mappings, or other processing rules for content defined in this specification. ]] So in this case, the Microdata spec is a such an applicable specification. All that said, a document that contains Microdata markup such itemscope is not actually a conforming HTML5 document (not as far as the W3C HTML5 defines it). It is instead considered a conforming HTML5+Microdata document. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
